This is a hand-printed photograph using the 19th century cyanotype process. The scene is of the woods in Northern California near San Francisco. The paper is a heavy acid-free watercolor paper. Slight variations of shades of blue exist from edition to edition as each print was hand-painted with photo chemicals in the dark and printed in natural sunlight with variations in the weather and intensity of light causing some prints to be darker than others.

Christine has such a connection to nature and the ability to translate that into beautiful pieces of art. Her cyanotypes are created with found materials from the natural world. Created in the 19th century, cyanotypes are so striking with their deep blues and real emphasis on the subject matter. They seem so modern, yet are rooted in history. I love that Christine creates permanence of objects she often finds in the foothills around her home. Her pieces are wonderful, and she is lovely to work with.

I own three of Christine’s cyanotype photograph paintings and another of her earlier acrylic work. Christine has an exceptional eye for composition and a keen sense of how to create a striking image using this technique. I find she is constantly exploring interesting and fresh ways to showcase the uniqueness, versatility and beauty of her cyanotype. I especially love the way her pieces capture the light and shadows often evoking moody blues, eerie, brooding and mysterious atmospheres. Her forest landscapes are filled with a sense of stillness and solitude , an eerie beauty which I’m always drawn to. These are my favorite pieces of hers.

I love Christine's art and buy something different every time she has a show. The blue cyanotypes of nature are so soothing and peaceful. She's always updating her styles and collections, so there's always something more to add to my collection.

Christine is a joy to work with! Her beautiful, nature-inspired art is peaceful and lovely! The colors are so calming and fit perfectly in our 1950s cabin. I couldn't be happier with my choice... it makes me smile every time I look at it!

I loved working with Christine! She brought years of experience as well as her creative talent to our project. We weren't quite sure how the branches we provided her were going to translate but she did such an extensive exploration that we got the artwork we absolutely love! We're so happy to have worked with Christine.

I ordered one of Christine So’s abstract cyanotypes for a recording studio because we needed something soothing and organic in a studio space that is defined by technology and rigidity. Christine’s artwork has a unique perspective, a perfect balance between abstract and biomorphic modernity. And the color is rich and deep, and seemed to fit any wall, but it landed nicely in a warm wood panel-lined recording booth. We noticed her careful attention to detail, both in the artwork and her framing. We also appreciated her very careful packaging, which ensured the artwork was delivered in unblemished condition. Overall we’re extremely happy with our purchase.

When I first saw this glorious yellow painting, I knew I wanted it for my house in Maine. It’s so sunny and warm, and it just makes me feel good to see it. Christine is so talented.

The minute I saw Christine’s stunning pieces I knew I has to purchase a series. Her innovative cyanotype techniques offer an imaginative and modern interpretation on the antiquated photographic process. The elegant simplicity of the artists nature inspired subject matter is fitting for all homes and personal styles.
